CONVERSATION CIRCLE Are You Religious or Spirtual? A Conversation on the Relevance of Religion Today
Thursday June 12, 2025 8:00pm - 9:30pm PDT
Our FreedomFest Conversation Circle is a dynamic, 90-minute gathering where attendees come together to share ideas, ask tough questions, and engage in candid discussions on important issues. It’s a chance to dive deep into critical topics, hear diverse perspectives, and explore potential solutions in an open, collaborative setting.

As secularism faces a challenge from the growing spiritual and religious interest, especially among younger generations, we’re on the verge of a potential religious revival. This conversation circle invites participants to reflect on the shifting landscape of belief in the 21st century. With increasing numbers questioning the role of religion in modern society, and others embracing new forms of spirituality, what does the future of faith look like? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving relevance of religion and spirituality, the rise of secularism, and how this tension might shape our values, communities, and culture moving forward. Whether you identify with a traditional faith or explore spirituality outside conventional boundaries, your voice is crucial to this timely conversation.

Our FreedomFest Conversation Circle is a dynamic, 90-minute gathering where attendees come together to challenge conventional ideas, ask tough questions, and engage in candid discussions on pressing topics. In this session, we’ll dive into the debate: "Political parties are exhausted institutions" and explore whether the current political party system still serves the needs of the people or if it's time for a new approach.

This conversation will allow participants to reflect on the role of political parties, evaluate their relevance in today’s society, and discuss alternative models for achieving political representation and progress. Join us for an engaging, thought-provoking discussion that seeks to rethink the very foundation of political engagement.
